Hi Judy,
The trouble with the percentage accuracy is that if a book has lots of
foreign conversation or technical terminology, the percentage would be
misleading. Just my thought.

When I'm downloading a book to read, I'd like to see the percentage accuracy
on
a book, whether or not a validator's name is listed. smile. The current
rating
system doesn't reflect the quality of the books in the collection.
I'm proud of the books I validate too, as I strive to make them error-free,
but
for personal reasons do not wish to have my name listed. smile.
